Well sit him there, George Russell, on the bars of the Imola line. Curved, retracted. He is generally a nice and friendly young British man. But at that moment he doesn’t feel like accumulating more sympathy points.. One championship point, there should have been your first time in its 3. 4. JobItt men Formula 1. He forgave him with shame.

So Russell is now waving his hands, wanting to ward off the pesky road assistants who keep asking him if he’s okay. He just wants one: abeing alone.

The origin of his METERalheurs is with MVerstappen ax, the said goodbye to gravel with his Red Bull shortly before and requires the use of the safety car. The right rear tire disappeared 12 laps before the end and ended a race that the combative Dutchman would have finished in second place. So Valtteri Bottas slips, out of the blue with damaged bass it is against Lewis Hamilton, after finishing secondand Russell in tenth position decoys the first accounting result for the Williams racing team after 22 clear rounds.

Gas, brake, gas, wall

Russell tries, behind the safety car the Keeping the tires warm, accelerate and brake, accelerateand crashes against the wall. From the dream remains the the management of the embryo tom lattice witch.

Behind someone is happy who was upset beforet: Kimi raikkonen. It lasted 49 laps on its medium-hard yellow tires, performing magic, he was now in fourth place and hoping that a safety car use him the lost Shorten the time at a pit stop would dobecause then everyone moves slowly. Vain. TO.lso his Alfa Romeo team faces him. Safety is 2 laps laterKing yes.

1/4

Points remain for the 41-year-old Finn, voted driver of the day by spectators: thanks to Russell. And thanks to Alexander Albon, who spins after the restart and makes the mess perfect for Red Bull.

So Raikkonen finished ninth, followed by Antonio Giovinazzi, who also scored a point. It is the first Grand Prix with two cars in the top 10 for the Swiss racing team since the Brazilian GP last year. It’s a feeling of accomplishment in a tough season with just three spots in the points.

“I will always be grateful to be a part of a racing team like this.”

Lewis Hamilton, winner also at Imola

The team at the front, on the other hand, has long forgotten when there was a last zero. Divorced in summer 2018 in the GRand price from Austria both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. Before and after that, the Mercedes drivers were and are the measure of all things. They come first and second when they return to Imola after 14 years and secure their racing team the seventh World Championship title with four Grand Prix to go. It is a record.

Also, one becomes from both World champion again this year for sure. Hamilton would have to make a big mistake to get his 85-point lead over Bottas einzyoubüssen uAnd don’t get clue number 7 catching up with Michael Schumacherin what. «I’m looking for here My team and think of the men and women of the factory, the anonymous heroes who continue to work and fight.»says the 35-year-old Brit After the race on the mic. «I will always be grateful to be a part of a record-breaking racing team.»

Hamilton is so euphoric that he gets carried away by Daniel Ricciardos «Shoey» to participate. The Australian, third on the Renault podium for the second time, has brought the traditional custom to the glittering world of Formula 1: empty rein champagne on his sweaty shoe and drink from it. The fact that Hamilton does this with the same shoe this Sunday is not compatible with Corona. And apparently quite disgusting, as the expression on his face suggests. But with so many records it does andIn Team in this season breject, the ideas of how they should celebrate this.
